Verdict
The Tikka T1x is Tikka's rimfire trainer for shooters who already use the centrefire T3x — same 70° bolt lift, same trigger feel, same stock geometry, same magazine well dimensions, in .22 LR and .17 HMR. Released 2018, the T1x has become a standard recommendation for transitioning shooters and for centrefire competitors looking for high-volume practice without the centrefire cost. The Index scores it 0/15: bolt-action, rimfire, no flag features, no prohibited family, no policy momentum. The third entry on the Index at the rubric's true minimum alongside the CZ 457 Varmint and the Savage B22 Precision. Three precision-rimfire bolt-actions clustered at 0/15 — the Canadian rimfire-precision market's entire current-production high-end is sitting at the rubric's floor. The pattern is the editorial point: the rubric correctly identifies which platforms have zero relationship to the SOR criteria.
